Ajay Mathur

Ajay Mathur and Paul J. Miles – two musicians from two different cultures cooperate to deliver an anthem of unity, compassion and respect – ‘Let’s Come Together’.

These are extraordinary times. Times when we are asking ourselves the hard questions about what is important in life. We are confronted with a pandemic, climate change, unrest and division like never before. ‘Let’s Come Together’ is a song about what really matters. It is about the strength that people find when they focus on what binds them and when they understand that gratitude, compassion, respect, friendship and love are what make us uniquely human and capable of doing great things. Together.

What started as a conversation at the dinner table turned into a song that brings together the unique styles and skills of two very different musicians. The unusual combination of Ajay Mathur, Swiss singer-songwriter who was born and raised in India, and the Afro American blues musician Paul J. Miles, born and raised in the United States, both now residing in Switzerland, is a singular triumph.

Paul J. Miles has won multiple awards in Detroit, Michigan as a singer-songwriter and guitarist. His music appeals to people of all walks of life and his soulful songwriting gets people on their feet everywhere he goes. link

Ajay Mathur is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose latest album "Little Boat" was voted English Album of the Year 2018 by the German Pop Foundation. Ajay is very popular and receives excellent international reviews. link

Ajay recently collaborated with the Lebanese video artist and film-director Suzie Selman to create a powerful new video “Who’s Sorry Now” about the situation in Lebanon and specifically in Beirut after the calamitous blast that killed, injured and destroyed a whole city and a shocking number of lives and livelihoods. Even before the Beirut blast, Lebanon has been experiencing an economic meltdown. The Beirut blast pushed the already dire situation for much of the population over the edge in just a few fateful seconds on August 4th, 2020. The damage and the plight are unimaginable.

So why this video? “Who’s Sorry Now” video aims to raise awareness of the situation long after the images and headline news about this fateful event have vanished. This video is also a call-for-action. There are several organizations listed in the video caption, that are doing good work on the ground in Lebanon. The video aims to encourage the viewer to experience the powerful images and engage, support, and donate however they can.
Here are some links to NGO's that are doing good work in Lebanon:

Lebanese Red Cross: link
Suzie Selman and two other artists in Berlin started a fundraiser to help female artists in Beirut, who were affected by the explosion. Any help is much appreciated: link
Please feel free to support any other NGO’s of your choice.

The collaboration between Ajay Mathur and Suzie Selman started spontaneously on August 15th with an email for help and an invitation to collaborate. Suzie Selman lives and works in Beirut and experienced the blast and the fallout thereafter first-hand. While a lot of artists avoid topics of social troubles and political struggles, Ajay has never shied away from addressing political struggle, social injustice, human condition, and isolation in his songs. The powerful new video “Who’s Sorry Now” documents this fruitful collaboration. The song on the video “Who’s Sorry Now”, taken from Ajay’s album “Little Boat”, is yet another one of Ajay’s songs that addresses the core of these themes. Ajay has a track-record of collaborating with artists* from different countries and cultures.

Hey there!
I've just uploaded a new and exciting remix of my song "Start Living Again" for my album "REMiX".
"Start Living Again - Malachi Mott Razorback Remix" was done by Malachi Mott, producer from Burbank, CA. Malachi completely transformed my Americana song ‘Start Living Again’ into a driving Dance/Pop/House tune. Malachi used to work at Interscope Records and now teaches mixing at Icon Collective. He is versed in many styles while working with some huge people, from Ty Dolla $ign to Sia.
REMiX is the result of my exciting collaboration, between summer 2018 and autumn 2019, with producers and DJs from India, Jordan, Croatia, France, Great Britain and the link. It grooves!
Check it out and remember to drop me a message!
Stay safe and have fun…
